write a novel that is different from others

creativity 4 years ago

So many times I find myself writing a novel that is so commonplace, too similar to most teen fiction novels on the market today. I want to write a novel that will stand out from the others, a novel that people will embrace the characters as their own.

And hopefully, I will accomplish that.
